【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、民宿・スーパーマーケット・料理店等の調理場・食材加工場等で発生する野菜・果物くず、魚介類くず、肉類くず、飯・麺類くず、その他食材・調理物の残りくず等の生ゴミを、破砕脱臭して廃棄処理し易いように処理するのに使用する生ゴミ処理装置に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
前記の生ゴミは、水分・汁液を多量に含有しているので「ベタベタ」して嵩ばって重く、その上悪臭を多量発生するので、廃棄処理作業が煩わしく多大の手数がかかる。
【０００３】
そこで、以上の不具合を解消する「生ゴミ処理装置」として、生ゴミを細断加工した後に圧縮加工して水分・汁液を除去した「サラサラ軽量生ごみ」に処理する生ゴミ処理装置の公知例がある。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
以上の従来の「生ごみ処理装置」によって処理された生ゴミは、水分・液分を概ね除去されて軽量化するものの、生ゴミ特有の臭気の充分な除去ができないと共に、細断処理によって空気の接触面積が増加しているので、常温空気中で悪臭が再発生したり小虫が群がる現象が避けられず、その上前記の脱水・脱液の水液は汚濁液にして異臭を放散するものが多いので排水溝等への放出がし難く、放棄処理に困る不具合がある。
【０００５】
本発明は、以上の従来技術の難点を解消する「生ゴミ処理装置」を提供するものである。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
以上の技術課題を解決する本発明の「生ゴミ処理装置」は、「投入生ゴミの破砕攪拌用の回転羽根と該生ゴミの加熱手段を有する密封・開口自在の生ゴミ攪拌加熱室と、相互連通の微細通気孔群を上下方向に密に有する気体細分濾過層を水没形態にした気体脱臭室の組合せから成り、前記生ゴミ攪拌加熱室の臭気含有気体を強制吸引して前記気体細分濾過層の下側に放出させる気体吸引送出手段を前記生ゴミ攪拌加熱室と前記気体脱臭室の間に備えた構造」に成っている。
【０００７】
即ち、前記構成の本発明の生ゴミ処理装置は、前記の生ゴミ破砕加熱室において、生ゴミが活発に悪臭発生作用する環境条件の４０〜６０℃等に生ゴミを加熱して攪拌することによって生ゴミから悪臭気体を意図的に強制発生させ、しかるのち、その悪臭気体を前記の水没形態の気体細分透過層に強制送出して強制通過させることによって、該悪臭気体に含有されている悪臭微粒子・悪臭分を該透過層や水中に転位させて除去し、それによる悪臭除去気体のみを空中放散させると共に、その悪臭微粒子・悪臭気体の含有水を活性炭濾過手段等によって清浄化して排水溝等への直接廃棄を可能にする思想から成るものである。
【０００８】
そして、前記構成の気体細分透過層は、例えば、公知の「金たわし」のように金属細線をまとめて塊形状にした金属細線塊状体の充堪、または、多孔質網目状の「しゅろ（やし科の常緑高木）」の「しゅろの毛」を層状に敷設して構成される。
【０００９】
【作用】
前記構成の本発明の生ゴミ処理装置は、まず、生ゴミが悪臭発生し易い環境温度に強制加熱して意図的に充分に悪臭発生させるので、前記生ゴミ攪拌加熱室で処理された生ゴミは、その加熱による脱水・脱液でサラサラ形態になると共に大気中常温では夏季・雨季等の悪環境でも悪臭発生するおそれが極めて少く、人間が臭気を感じない無臭状態生ゴミに処理できる。
【００１０】
そして、その生ゴミ攪拌加熱室で発生した悪臭を含む該攪拌加熱室内の悪臭含有気体は、強制吸引されて前記の水没形態の気体細分濾過層の下側に分散強制送出されるので、浮力による該濾過槽上昇中に細分化されて表面積を特段に増加して、該濾過層の構成材や水分に接触するので、含有臭気の微細臭気粒子や臭気気体分が該濾過層の構成材の表面に付着したり水中に転位して除去され、臭気除去の前記の無臭状態の美麗空気のみが上方から放出できる。
【００１１】
そして、その悪臭含有の水分は適宜のインターバルで活性炭濾過手段等を通して排水して水交換することによって、前記の気体細分濾過層の前記の悪臭除去機能を円滑に維持すると共に、悪臭含有水を清浄化して排水溝への直接放出が可能になる。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明１実施例の生ゴミ処理装置１を図１〜図３を参照して説明する。即ち、この実施例の生ゴミ処理装置１は、方形中空箱体の下層の気体脱臭室３の上部に、方形中空箱体の生ゴミ攪拌加熱室２（以下、単に攪拌加熱室２という）を積層一体化した２層構造にして、この攪拌加熱室２内で発生した含臭気体Ａ１を吸引して気体脱臭室３に強制送出する気体吸引送出部４を備え、これ等によって主要部が構成されている。
【００１３】
詳しくは、攪拌加熱室２は（図１・図２参照）上部開口部１１に開閉蓋１２を有し、かつ、下半部分を半円筒部９にした密封・開放自在の中空箱体形態にして、側壁外側に設けた駆動部によって強制回転する作動軸５が、中空部の上下方向の中間部位に横設されると共に、この作動軸５には「作動軸５と直交するアーム６の先端に幅広爪の破砕攪拌爪７をＬ字状に有して，刃先が半円筒胴部９の内周に沿って回転する攪拌羽根８が作動軸５に対する取り付け角を順次ずらした形態にして複数本（図示は５本）並設されている。
【００１４】
さらに、この半円筒胴部９の内周に沿って電熱ヒーターのバーヒーターＨが横断状に設けられると共に、側壁部分には攪拌加熱処理した生ごみＤの取り出しドア１３が開閉自在に設けてある。
【００１５】
そして、上部開口部１１から生ゴミＤの適量を投入して開閉蓋１２を閉じて室内密封状態に成し、しかるのち、その生ゴミＤをバーヒーターＨで概ね４０〜６０℃に加熱しながら攪拌羽根８を概ね毎分１．５〜２．０回転速度で１０〜３０分程度回転させて均等に破砕攪拌処理する。そして、その処理済生ゴミＤを取り出しドア１３を開いて取出し処理するように成っている。なお、この実施例の攪拌加熱室２は概ね「６００粍×４５０粍×高さ６００粍」のサイズである。なお、バーヒーターＨは適宜な絶縁保護管等に収納して横設され、図中のＢは気体吸引送出部４の吸排気ブロアーである。
【００１６】
一方、気体脱臭室３は（図１・図３参照）同じく方形箱体の水槽形態にして気体吸引送出部４の送気管１４の先端に「送気管１４からの強制送出気体の含臭気体Ａ１を気体脱臭室３の底近傍から上方へ概ね均等に分散強制放出する排気分散ノズル１６を有する排気放出管１０」が設けてある。
【００１７】
そして、この排気放出管１０の上方には「相互連通の微細通気孔群を密に有する気体細分濾過層Ｆ（以下、単に濾過層Ｆという）」が上下方向に厚層を成して水没形態で設けられ、排気放出管１０からの排気気体の含臭気体Ａ１が濾過層Ｆの水中を自力浮力で浮上通過して脱臭気体Ａ２に処理されて上部中空部２０に至り、この上部中空部２０に設けた排気筒２１から自然流して大気放散される構造に設定されている。
【００１８】
なお、この実施例の濾過層Ｆは「細い金属線を塊状に丸めた公知市販の金属たわし」を多数個投入した約２００粍の層厚さ」に形成されている。そして、この実施例の気体脱臭室３は概ね「６００粍×４５０粍×高さ２５０粍、標準水深＝約２００粍」のサイズ諸元にして、図中の２２は給水パイプ、２３は排水パイプであり、この排水パイプ２３の入口側には濾過層Ｆを水没させた汚濁水を浄化して排水パイプ２３から浄化水を排出させる活性炭層の排水濾過部２４が設けてある。
【００１９】
以上の実施例の生ゴミ処理装置１は前記の作用があり、多量の水分・液分を含む生ゴミＤは密封状態の攪拌加熱室２内で、臭気発生し易い環境温度に加熱して破砕攪拌されるので、大気中で自然発生可能の臭分が充分に強制放出され、大気中に放置しても容易に悪臭発生しない無発臭サラサラ生ゴミに処理される。
【００２０】
従って、攪拌加熱室２から取り出した処理済み生ゴミは、事後の処理作業が極めてし易くして悪臭被害をもたらすおそがなく、日常多量発生する生ゴミの処理性が特段に向上する。
【００２１】
そして、その攪拌加熱室２内に発生した含臭気体Ａ１は、気体吸引送出部４によって強制吸引送気されて気体脱臭室３の濾過層Ｆを自力通過することによって微細粒子に細断化されて含有臭気が濾過材や水に置換吸収されて脱臭気体Ａ２に自動処理される。従って、大気中への有害な臭気を放散することがなく、生ゴミＤの臭気トラブルが極めて効果的に解消できる。
【００２２】
そして、その気体脱臭室３の水を適宜交換することによって、含臭気体Ａ１によって、汚濁化した水を清浄水に置換して気体脱臭室３の脱臭機能を良好に安定維持することが可能にして機能維持の日常メンテナンスが簡便にできる。
【００２３】
そして、この実施例のものは前記の排水濾過部２４を有するので、前記汚濁水を浄化処理してそのまま排水溝等に放出処理することが可能にして、生ゴミＤの一連の処理プロセスが特段に簡便にして生ゴミ公害を生ずるおそれがない。
【００２４】
続いて、図４を参照して本発明の他の実施例を説明する。即ち、図１実施例と同様な「加熱攪拌室２と気体脱臭室３と気体吸引送出部４」から成るものにおいて、この実施例の気体脱臭室３は「前記の金たわし群を充填して成る濾過層Ｆ」の上部に活性炭を敷設した補助濾過層２５が積層状に敷設されている。
【００２５】
この図４実施例のものは補助濾過層２５の活性炭の交換メンテナンスが必要になるものの濾過性能が安定し向上する。
【００２６】
なお、本発明の生ゴミ処理装置は前記の実施例に限定されず、気体細分濾過層Ｆを微細メッシュ網体の積層形態または微細粒状固形物の層体にしたり、攪拌羽根８を他の形状にしたり、攪拌加熱室２と気体脱臭室３を送気管１４で連結する分離別体構造にしたり、加熱ヒーターＨを半円筒胴部９の外周に装着した外側加熱形態にする等の変化がある。
【００２７】
【発明の効果】
以上の説明のとおり本発明の生ゴミ処理装置は、生ゴミを活発に強制発臭させた含臭気体を意図的に生成し、その含臭気体の臭気分を濾過層の濾過体・濾過水に置換移行させて処理するので、大気中で容易に発臭しない無発臭軽量生ゴミに処理できる。
【００２８】
そして、生ゴミ臭気分の水への置換移行を可能にするので、その臭気移行水を浄化排水することによって、下水システムが存在しない通常排水溝への処理水排出が可能にして、生ゴミ処理による排水溝等の汚濁を防止するので、生ゴミ処理性が特段に向上して広く一般の日常の生ゴミ処理対策を改良向上する有用な効果がある。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the production of vegetable and fruit waste, seafood waste, meat waste, rice and noodle waste waste, and other food and cooked food waste generated at cooking places and food processing places such as guesthouses, supermarkets and restaurants. The present invention relates to a garbage disposal apparatus used for crushing and deodorizing garbage so as to facilitate disposal.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Since the garbage contains a large amount of water and juice, it is "sticky" and bulky and heavy, and generates a large amount of foul odors, so that the disposal process is cumbersome and tedious.
[0003]
Therefore, as a "garbage disposal device" that solves the above problems, a known example of a garbage disposal device that shreds garbage and then compresses it to remove water and juice to process it into "lightweight garbage". There is.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Although the garbage treated by the above-mentioned conventional garbage disposal device is substantially reduced in moisture and liquid content to reduce the weight, it is not possible to sufficiently remove the odor peculiar to the garbage, and shredded to remove air. Since the contact area increases, it is inevitable that the odor reappears in the room temperature air and the worms are swarmed, and the dewatering / dewatering water liquid becomes a polluted liquid and emits an off-flavor. Since there are many objects, it is difficult to discharge to drains and the like, and there is a problem that abandonment treatment is troublesome.
[0005]
The present invention provides a "garbage disposal apparatus" that solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The "garbage disposal apparatus" of the present invention that solves the above technical problems is a garbage stirring and heating chamber, which is freely sealed and openable, having a rotating blade for crushing and stirring the input garbage and heating means for the garbage, It consists of a combination of a gas deodorizing chamber in which a gas fine filtering layer having mutually communicating fine ventilation holes densely arranged vertically is submerged, and forcibly sucking the odor-containing gas in the garbage stirring / heating chamber to perform the gas fine filtration. A structure in which a gas suction / delivery means for discharging gas to the lower side of the layer is provided between the garbage stirring / heating chamber and the gas deodorizing chamber.
[0007]
That is, the garbage disposal apparatus of the present invention having the above-described configuration, in the garbage crushing and heating chamber, heats and agitates the garbage to 40 to 60 ° C. or the like, which is an environmental condition in which the garbage actively generates an odor. The odorous gas contained in the odorous gas is deliberately forcibly generated from the garbage, and then the odorous gas is forcibly transmitted through the submerged gas finely permeable layer and forced to pass through, thereby forcing the odorous gas contained in the odorous gas. The fine particles and odors are removed by dislocation into the permeable layer or water, and only the gas for removing the odors is dissipated in the air. It consists of an idea that allows direct disposal to the public.
[0008]
The gas finely permeable layer having the above-described structure is, for example, filled with a fine metal wire lump formed by putting together a fine metal wire into a lump like a well-known “gold scourer” or a porous mesh-like “Shiroro ( It is constructed by laying layers of "Shiroro's hair" from "Palm trees".
[0009]
[Action]
The garbage disposal apparatus of the present invention having the above-described configuration firstly causes garbage to be forcibly heated to an environmental temperature at which garbage is likely to generate a bad odor and intentionally generates a bad odor. Can be processed into deodorized garbage, which has a low risk of generating odors even in a bad environment such as summer and rainy seasons at normal temperature in the air at room temperature in the air.
[0010]
Then, the odor-containing gas in the stirring and heating chamber including the odor generated in the garbage stirring and heating chamber is forcibly sucked and dispersed and forcibly sent to the lower side of the submerged gas fine filtration layer. During the rising of the filter tank, the filter is finely divided and the surface area is particularly increased, so that the filter comes into contact with the constituent material of the filtration layer and moisture, so that the fine odor particles and the odor gas component of the contained odor are reduced to the surface of the constituent material of the filtration layer. It is removed by adhering to water or displacing in water, and only the odorless beautiful air for odor removal can be released from above.
[0011]
Then, the odor-containing water is drained at appropriate intervals through activated carbon filtration means or the like to exchange water, thereby maintaining the above-mentioned odor removal function of the gas subdivision filtration layer smoothly and purifying the odor-containing water. And direct discharge into drains becomes possible.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
A garbage processing apparatus 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, the garbage disposal apparatus 1 of this embodiment has a garbage stirring / heating chamber 2 (hereinafter, simply referred to as a stirring / heating chamber 2) of a rectangular hollow box above the gas deodorizing chamber 3 below the rectangular hollow box. A gas suction / delivery unit 4 for sucking the odor-containing gas A1 generated in the stirring and heating chamber 2 and forcibly sending it to the gas deodorization chamber 3 is provided. Have been.
[0013]
Specifically, the stirring and heating chamber 2 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) has an opening / closing lid 12 at an upper opening portion 11 and has a semi-cylindrical portion 9 in a lower half portion to form a sealable and openable hollow box. An operating shaft 5 that is forcibly rotated by a drive unit provided on the outer side of the side wall is provided horizontally at an intermediate portion in the vertical direction of the hollow portion, and the operating shaft 5 includes a “tip of an arm 6 orthogonal to the operating shaft 5. A plurality of crushing stirring claws 7 having a wide claw in an L-shape, and stirring blades 8 whose cutting edges rotate along the inner periphery of the semi-cylindrical body 9 in a form in which the mounting angle with respect to the operating shaft 5 is sequentially shifted. Books (five shown) are juxtaposed.
[0014]
Further, a bar heater H as an electric heater is provided transversely along the inner periphery of the semi-cylindrical body 9, and a door 13 for taking out the garbage D subjected to the stirring and heating treatment is provided on a side wall portion so as to be openable and closable. .
[0015]
Then, an appropriate amount of the garbage D is charged from the upper opening portion 11 to close the opening / closing lid 12 to form a sealed room. Thereafter, the garbage D is heated to approximately 40 to 60 ° C. by the bar heater H. The stirring blade 8 is rotated at a rotational speed of about 1.5 to 2.0 per minute for about 10 to 30 minutes to uniformly crush and stir. Then, the processed garbage D is taken out, the door 13 is opened, and the garbage D is taken out. The size of the stirring and heating chamber 2 of this embodiment is generally “600 mm × 450 mm × height 600 mm”. The bar heater H is housed in a suitable insulating protection tube or the like and is provided horizontally, and B in the figure is a suction / exhaust blower of the gas suction / delivery unit 4.
[0016]
On the other hand, the gas deodorizing chamber 3 (see FIGS. 1 and 3) is also formed in the form of a rectangular tank, and the tip of the gas supply pipe 14 of the gas suction / delivery unit 4 is provided with the "odorous gas A1 of the forced supply gas from the gas supply pipe 14". Exhaust discharge pipe 10 "having an exhaust dispersion nozzle 16 for dispersing and forcibly dispersing substantially uniformly upward from the vicinity of the bottom of the gas deodorization chamber 3.
[0017]
Above the exhaust pipe 10, a “gas finely divided filtration layer F (hereinafter simply referred to as a filtration layer F) having densely communicating fine ventilation holes” forms a thick layer vertically and is submerged. The odor-containing gas A1 of the exhaust gas from the exhaust discharge pipe 10 floats through the water of the filtration layer F by its own buoyancy, is processed into the deodorized gas A2, reaches the upper hollow portion 20, and reaches the upper hollow portion 20. Is configured to flow naturally from the exhaust pipe 21 provided to the air and to be radiated to the atmosphere.
[0018]
The filtration layer F of this embodiment is formed to have a thickness of about 200 mm, in which a large number of commercially available metal scourers obtained by rolling a thin metal wire into a lump are introduced. The gas deodorizing chamber 3 according to this embodiment has a size of “600 mm × 450 mm × height 250 mm, standard water depth = approximately 200 mm”. Reference numeral 22 denotes a water supply pipe, and 23 denotes a drain pipe. On the inlet side of the drain pipe 23, there is provided a drain filter section 24 of an activated carbon layer for purifying polluted water in which the filter layer F is submerged and discharging purified water from the drain pipe 23.
[0019]
The garbage disposal apparatus 1 of the above embodiment has the above-mentioned function, and garbage D containing a large amount of water and liquid is heated to an odor-prone environmental temperature in a sealed stirring and heating chamber 2 and crushed. Because of the agitation, odors which can be naturally generated in the atmosphere are sufficiently forcibly released, and the odorless odorless garbage which does not easily generate a bad odor even when left in the air is processed.
[0020]
Therefore, the processed garbage taken out of the stirring and heating chamber 2 is extremely easy to perform the post-processing work, and there is no danger of causing a bad smell.
[0021]
Then, the odor-containing gas A1 generated in the stirring and heating chamber 2 is forcibly sucked and sent by the gas suction and delivery unit 4 and is shredded into fine particles by passing through the filtration layer F of the gas deodorizing chamber 3 by itself. The odor contained is replaced and absorbed by the filter medium and water, and is automatically processed into the deodorized gas A2. Therefore, the harmful odor to the atmosphere is not diffused, and the odor trouble of the garbage D can be eliminated very effectively.
[0022]
Then, by appropriately replacing the water in the gas deodorization chamber 3, the polluted water can be replaced with clean water by the odorous gas A1, and the deodorization function of the gas deodorization chamber 3 can be satisfactorily maintained. This makes daily maintenance of function maintenance simple.
[0023]
Since this embodiment has the above-mentioned drainage filtration section 24, it is possible to purify the polluted water and release the polluted water as it is into a drainage ditch or the like. And there is no danger of garbage pollution.
[0024]

[0025]
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, although the replacement maintenance of the activated carbon of the auxiliary filtration layer 25 is required, the filtration performance is stabilized and improved.
[0026]
Note that the garbage disposal apparatus of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the gas subdivision filtration layer F may be a laminating form of a fine mesh network or a layer of fine granular solids, or the stirring blade 8 may have another shape. Or a separate and separate structure in which the stirring and heating chamber 2 and the gas deodorizing chamber 3 are connected by an air supply pipe 14, or an outside heating mode in which the heating heater H is attached to the outer periphery of the semi-cylindrical body 9. .
[0027]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the garbage processing apparatus of the present invention intentionally generates an odor-containing gas that actively forcibly emits garbage, and converts the odor of the odor-containing gas into the filter body / filtration water of the filtration layer. , And can be processed into odorless, lightweight garbage that does not easily emit odor in the atmosphere.
[0028]
Since the garbage odor can be replaced and transferred to water, the odor-migrated water is purified and drained, so that treated water can be discharged to a normal drain without a sewage system. Therefore, the garbage disposal property is particularly improved, and there is a useful effect of improving and improving general daily garbage disposal measures.
